No offense but u cant say u prefer one movie when u havent seen the other. Not defending either of the two movies mentioned, but thats just insane. If you see both then you can choose one. This was passable, but I never need to see it again. The cover art isnt bad.

A bare bones DVD, Sony? Really? I really liked this movie, but I will wait for a dirt cheap price to buy this on DVD now. Even a few featurettes or a commentary track are enough to say, "Okay, that's worth a little extra cash to buy it first day."

None taken. Again, I still got to choose WHD. I'll still check out Olympus Has Fallen.

You can't "choose" White House Down over Olympus Has Fallen and say WHD is better than OHF if you have yet to see the other one. That is just stupid. You need to see both movies before making a comparison and then preferring one over the other.

Loved this movie. Action packed and it was a pretty fun hard R-rated action movie. Butler was pretty badass in it. Glad that it did well in the box office unlike White House Down, which is a bomb. I kind of liked WHD, but the tone was so much lighter compared to this. Already pre-ordered this one.

I haven't seen either and the previews told me to wait to rent them in the video store. I hope at least one is good and I like the actors in Olympus Has Fallen better than the leads in White House Down even though I like the director of WHD better
